Lake Placid Xprss takeover County will operate trolley system

Local residents react to historic election President-elect Donald Trump generates strong emotions from divided county By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Defying all expectations, Donald J. Trump won the presidency last week, and will become the 45th president of the United States. The upset victory over Hillary Clinton sent shockwaves across the country — including Essex County, where residents have been absorbing the results over the past week.

Overseas

Interviews with over a dozen local residents suggested a degree of fear mixed with cautious optimism. Monique Clague, 79, is one of the four in 10 Americans who described their reaction to the election as “afraid,” according to Gallup. “I fear for the future,” said Clague. The retired college professor from Keene cited “the whole package” when it came to her misgivings with Trump: The tough-talking businessman’s personality is erratic, she said, and she is concerned that the president-elect will follow through on his campaign promises to repeal the Affordable Care Act, deport illegal immigrants and roll back internation-

U.S. Navy Admiral incharge of U.S. Fleet Forces briefs Willsboro crowd on military efforts in global waters on Veterans Day WILLSBORO — Attendees of the town’s long-running Veterans Day Dinner received an intimate glimpse at American military operations abroad on Friday when they received a briefing from a top-ranking military official. Pete U.S. Navy Admiral Philip S. Davidson DeMola is the commander of the U.S. Fleet Forces Editor Command. The Norfolk-based unit trains and equips 125 ships and 100 aircraft across the globe, commanding 103,000 active duty service members and civilians. Davidson is also an old pal of Shaun Gillilland, a retired U.S. Navy captain who now serves as Willsboro’s supervisor. In his comments, Davidson sketched out military actions across the globe, and tied them directly to the U.S. Fleet Forces and the work they do. “Your navy is absolutely your away team, and we don’t want to play any home games,” Davidson said. Many of the 70,000 sailors and Marines on active duty deployment are engaged in daily combat — including local veterans like Captain David Little, son of state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury), who recently returned from an eight-month

al agreements, including the Paris Agreement, the landmark climate change treaty that went into effect earlier this month. The world depends on the U.S. for its leadership, said Clague. “If America gets out of those international agreements, then the rest of the world can go the same way.” Jim Haig, of Jay, said he was “appalled” by Trump’s victory. Haig, a lifelong independent, said he was “beyond concerned” about Trump’s ascension to the leader of the free world.

Davidson, speaking to a roomful of veterans and their families, detailed the efforts of two units, the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group and the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Destroyer, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. For months, missions leaving from the USS Wasp have been conducting flying air raids against ISIS in Libya, or, as the U.S. military calls them, Daesh. “It means the perverted ones,” Davidson said, referring to the Arabic language acronym.

Essex County races decided Voters also cast ballots for downticket local races across county By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Despite the fireworks at the top of the ticket, voters in Essex County also cast ballots for a number of local races in last week’s general election. Here are the results for Essex County races. David Bashaw ran unopposed as a write-in candidate for Chesterfield Town Justice. Bashaw received 800 votes, and a write-in candidate earned 1. Ivan Macey bested write-in candidate Clayton Menser, Sr. 454-162 in Crown Point to fill the three-year unexpired term for town council. Because the Crown Point Town Council did not fill the temporary vacancy after the death of Charles Mazurowski in September, Macey can be sworn-in prior to Jan. 1. In Lewis, Jeff Scott holds a narrow lead over Lawrence Hulbert 225-223 in the race for a town council seat, according to the Essex County Board of Elections. That race hangs in the balance, and will come down to absentee ballots, of which Essex County sent out 1,900. Boards of Elections across the district began recanvassing on Monday. Military ballots will be counted as long as they are postmarked Nov. 8 and are returned no later than seven days after the day of the election.

Richard J. Carpenter was elected town justice in Moriah, earning 1,317 votes to 1 write-in. Also for town justice in Newcomb, Robert Ward garnered 122 votes to 13 for a write-in candidate. Barbara Darrah was elected town clerk in St. Armand with 483 votes and one write-in. A write-in candidate for town justice in Wilmington received 35 write-in votes. The results of the state Supreme Court Fourth Judicial District is hanging in the balance and will come down to absentee ballots. By the time this story went to print on Tuesday, Mark Powers (D, Con.) remained locked in a tight race with Timothy Lawliss (R), with just 1,415 votes separating the two out of a total 357,363 cast. Across the 11-county district, 30,000 absentee ballots were sent out. The Powers campaign filed court action last week to impound all ballots. UPTICKET RACES President-elect Donald J. Trump bested Hillary Clinton by 3.3 percent in Essex County. Third-party presidential candidates received stronger support in the county than the statewide average: Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnston received 4.2 percent of the vote; Green Party candidate Jill Stein, 2.4 percent. U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, easily won a fourth term, beating Republican challenger Wendy Long by 40 points, a spread that narrowed to 12 points in Essex Coun-

ty.

State Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) cruised to victory over Green Party candidate Steve Ruzbacki, earning 75 percent of the vote; Ruzbacki received 10 percent. Those results were largely mirrored in Essex County. Assemblyman Dan Stec, a Republican, bested Green Party candidate Robin Barkenhagen in the 114th District by 59 points, 71 to 12 percent. Democrats did not run a candidate in that race. Stec’s margin of victory narrowed to 54 percent in Essex County, where 21.4 percent of the electorate left the space blank. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) soundly defeated her opponents, earning a decisive 63 percent of the vote — the highest of any congressional candidate in the state. Stefanik won all 12 counties in the district, including Essex, which she won by a comfortable 17.7 margin over Mike Derrick. Matt Funiciello scored 3 percent. Despite the strong showing, Stefanik failed to sweep Essex County, according to unofficial results from the county Board of Elections. Derrick easily took Essex 175-109. The margins were higher in Keene, where the retired army colonel notched 375 votes to Stefanik’s 188. And the candidate pulled off a narrow upset in North Elba, 1,369 to 1,247 — besting the freshman lawmaker by 122 votes. Stefanik easily won her adopted hometown of Willsboro, where she beat Derrick 447-300. Altogether, 62.3 percent of New Yorkers voted on Tuesday.

Essex County files tentative budget Spending plan comes with projected 3.75 percent tax increase By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County tentative 2017 spending plan carries a tax levy increase lower than initially anticipated. “We are filing the tentative budget with a projected increase in the tax levy at 3.75 percent,” Essex County Manager told lawmakers on Monday. Palmer projected a 5 percent increase last

month. Total appropriations for the tentative budget are $97,715,744 — a 1.21 percent increase over last year. The net budget is $23,985,468, slightly up from $23.7 million last year. The plan calls for $1.9 million in appropriated fund balance, down from $2.03 million this year — a 6.1 percent decrease. “I think that’s a good sign,” Palmer said. The tax rate per $1,000 in assessed value is projected to be $3.25 — up 8 cents, which leads to an increase of $8 annually on a $100,000 home. That number will be tweaked as county officials refine the budget, Palmer said, and is subject to chargebacks within the towns which would change town rates.

Prior to chargebacks, the allowable increase in the levy is 1.8 percent, a number that drops to 0.67 after chargebacks. Either way, the county has surpassed the state’s property tax cap. But the increase is not a surprise, and comes as part of the county’s five-year financial plan, implemented after a state audit that criticized the county on an over-reliance on fund balance. The 2017 spending plan, which was filed Monday, marks the fourth year. Palmer said the county is on target to meet the plan’s objectives. “I think it’s a good budget,” he said. Funding for contract agencies, subject of last-minute wrangling over the past several years, has been kept at current levels.

A breakdown will follow, Palmer said, and lawmakers can adjust the allocations during the upcoming budget workshops, the first of which is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 21 at the Government Center in Elizabethtown. “If you fail to get something to pass, than it remains at the tentative level,” he said. James Monty (R-Lewis), a first-time supervisor, said he was pleased with the spending plan, and said Palmer’s planning aided him at the town level. “I think we are on the right path, and kudos to you and (Purchasing Manager) Linda Wolf,” he said. Essex County’s 2016 spending plan clocked in at $96.5 million, with a 6 percent increase in the tax levy.

Supervisors approve Lake Placid Xprss takeover “Without numbers in Lake Placid — to Whiteface — it’s not going to work. I just want you to understand that.” Lawmakers on the Human Services Committee unanimously approved the resolution. “I fully support this,” said Tom Scozzafava (R-Moriah). “Lake Placid and North Elba is a huge part of the economic engine that drives this county.” Essex County would suffer without the bed and sales tax revenues generated from the northwest part of the county, the lawmaker said.

Transfer to county oversight carries no change in service, tax burden says county By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Board of Supervisors tentatively authorized the takeover of the Lake Placid Xprss on Monday. County and town officials say the changeover will streamline operations for the shuttle service and will not burden county taxpayers. “Within the contract with the village, it will cover all of our expenses — it will have zero impact on the budget,” Essex County Manager Dan Palmer told lawmakers. “By doing the consolidation, it does lower the overall cost, and the village agrees if there is any shortfalls to be had, they cover those shortfalls.”

Funding comes from several local, federal and state funding streams. Lake Placid and the town of North Elba have historically subsidized the remainder of the costs and will continue to do so, Palmer said. North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi said the town typically provides $40,000 per year, and Lake Placid, about $70,000. “The revenues equal the appropriations,” Palmer said. Employees will not be affected, and their management will be transferred from village to county oversight, including insurance plans and disciplinary files. “If this doesn’t work, we don’t have to do it in the future,” Politi said. Politi said the Olympic Region is a critical spoke in the county’s transportation hub. “If you don’t have this system, you don’t have any transportation in Essex County,” Politi said. “Without Lake Placid, you have no transportation anywhere.

Tupper Lake seeks help for park improvements Organizers seek help with funding new Flanders Park bandshell project TUPPER LAKE — Tupper Lake is looking to turn Flanders Park into a performance park, and it needs help from the community and visitors. The plan is to build a bandshell on the shore of the scenic Raquette Pond and build a stone plaza in front of the bandshell. Construction will also include a rain garden behind the bandshell that will help with drainage. The bandshell will be an eye-catching timber structure built to reflect the local lumberjack and logging heritage. The village has received grant funding from the Department of State Local Waterfront Revitalization Program to begin work on Flanders Park, and the Lions Club has raised funds and donated services. Organizers are hoping for help from the public to give the project a final funding boost and provide matching funds for future grants. Local contractors will donate their services for construction, but organizers are looking to raise another $85,000 for materials for the bandshell. Supporters are launching a crowdfunding campaign through Woodmen of the World’s fundraising site, Red Basket. Potential donors can go to tupperlake.com/bandshell to find more information on how to donate. “Our vision is that the bandshell at Flanders Performance Park will be a venue that hosts a robust schedule of concerts, theatrical performances, entertainment acts, educational workshops, events and more,” said Dan McClelland, president of the Lions Club. “The site offers one of the most beautiful vistas in the entire Adirondacks, and the sunsets are magnificent.” If enough money is raised, organizers also plan to extend the existing Waterfront Walkway along Raquette Pond, connecting it to Cliff Avenue, and install gateway structures at the Mill Street and Cliff Avenue entrances to the park, completing the Flanders Performance Park.

“Without those numbers they produce up there, we wouldn’t have a transportation system,” Scozzafava said. The service cost $192,480 to run last year, transporting 53,000 riders. If approved by the full board next month, the takeover would become effective Jan. 1.

Morrisonville hep C testing clinic going mobile American Legion Post 1619 planning on testing Vietnamera veterans from Franklin County down to NYC By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

MORRISONVILLE — Following a series of successful clinics facilitated this year to test Vietnam veterans for hepatitis C, the innovative local program now plans to expand past its Clinton County footprint. Earlier this month, 201 vets from the Vietnam War era were tested for hepatitis C at the American Legion Post 1619 in Morrisonville. That clinic joined the first-ever free clinic earlier this year that tested 401 veterans. Based on that success, the post now wants to expand the program to other municipalities across the state. “The fact that we’re going to other places is quite certain,” said Post 1619 Medical Officer Danny Kaifetz. “We would be happy to go wherever people need us.” As part of the post’s statewide awareness campaign, which started earlier this year, the goal is to get all Vietnam-era veterans tested for the blood-borne virus, the spread of which Kaifetz believes was expedited by the use of jet guns designed for rapid-fire inoculations. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, one in 10 veterans are infected. But Kaifetz believes the number can be far higher. The local clinics have yielded in positive diagnoses, said Kaifetz in an interview earlier this month. But he declined to discuss the exact rate, citing privacy concerns.

MALONE CLINIC SET

Albany Stratton VA Medical Center Public Affairs Officer Peter Potter said due to the post’s current success rate, discussions are being had on teaming up to host one in the area. “We’ve been at the forefront of this hep C testing movement,” Potter said. “Now, we’re trying to see how we can work together to better serve the community.” A free clinic for Malone is in the works, with a tentative date set for between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Post 1619 aims to test at least 100 veterans before rolling out the clinic in more population-rich areas across the state. For the past three years, the medical center has been offering free testing to income-eligible veterans. An average of 200 vets gets tested and enrolled in the hospital’s treatment program each year, said Potter. Potter said he would like to eventually see more, which is where Post 1619 comes in. Kaifetz said he’s having a similar conversation with the Brooklyn VA Hospital to replicate their efforts downstate. The plan, said Kaifetz, is to give the entities a checklist on how to run the clinic, along with tips for promoting the event. Kaifetz said either one or two members of the post will join him to help the entity host the event. Throughout all these trips, Kaifetz said his hopes are to bring the team of lab technicians from CVPH, who were part of the first clinic, on the road with him and the post members. The post is also exploring the option of hosting clinics in Syracuse and somewhere in Essex County. Details of those clinics also have not been finalized yet and discussions are still ongoing.

Exactly 201 veterans from the Vietnam War era were tested for Hepatitis-C last Friday and Saturday at the American Legion Post 1619.

Elections have consequences

ery few of us saw this one coming. Watching the voting go down to the wire made for an exciting and historical election. Glad I lasted until 2:30 am and still made it to work by 7:30 am last Wednesday. So many points to comment on with regard to this election, but one thought occurred to me as I was drifting off to sleep. That thought was about our two flawed, less than perfect candidates. Like many of you I worried and prayed about this election with so many major issues at stake, but when it appeared clear that Mr. Trump would indeed be the next president, it came to me that so many times throughout history God has placed an imperfect person — that none of us would have selected — into a role to perform an unimaginable task. Could this be one of those times? After listening to Secretary Clinton’s concession speech; Mr. Obama’s speech welcoming the President-elect, and watching as Speaker Ryan and Congress fell in step, followed by the stock market’s sudden rise, one can’t help but be optimistic about our future. Since President Bush-41 said, “Read my lips, no new taxes” in the 1988 campaign and then ended up compromising with the Democratically-controlled House to pass a bill that grid locked partisan politicians, we’ve seen our country grind to a halt. Neither party would give ground for fear of losing votes from an unappreciative constituency. No matter how important the legislation was to the country, retaining seats was always the highest priority. President Obama gave us hope with his election speeches but failed to deliver. He and the Republicans never even tried to get on the same page for fear of crossing party faithful. This election demonstrated the error of those ways and why party compromise is the only way forward. I believe this election holds a great deal of promise. Trump is a deal maker beholden to no one and his personality will drive him to be successful beyond what any president before him has ever done. Combine that with the fact that he was a Democrat for many years and as a non politician who ran with little support from the established Republicans, he is not susceptible to lobby pressure. His focus appears clearly based on the American people who crossed party lines, overcame political correctness and risked ridicule to place him in office. The course is now set, it’s up to all of us to support the new president and those charged with making this government work for the citizens of the country. Our united focus must now be one nation under God with liberty and justice for all. Dan Alexander may be reached at dan@suncommunitynews.com.

EDITORIAL

Marching in the streets

nti-Trump protests have been roiling the streets since the underdog’s shock election last week. The gatherings have erupted across over a dozen American cities, a coda to one of the most fractious political cycles in modern history. Protesters have painted this as an existential crisis facing the nation. Critics, newly empowered with a victory, have called them “rioters” and said they should be rounded up with the same vigor used to stamp out invasive species. Both sides are misguided. Here’s why. Diving into the post-election data is a crapshoot, and Hillary Clinton’s shock loss can be spun by any number of reasons — and will be, relentlessly. At its most fundamental level, Clinton was an uninspiring candidate, and didn’t inspire the level of enthusiasm that propelled Obama to victory. Seven million fewer voters turned out for Clinton than President Obama in 2012. Meanwhile, Clinton had blinders on when it came to recognizing the raw anger of Rust Belt Americans felt after years of being left behind and fed platitudes by professional soothsayers. Instead of listening to their concerns, Clinton instead focused on expanding the electoral map. Where do Millennials fit in? The numbers are still murky. But early raw numbers indicate there were simply more 18-year-olds eligible to vote in 2016 than there were in 2012. But numbers were anemic in the battleground states that delivered Trump his victory, a sign of depressed turnout. While we never thought Trump would be headed to the Oval Office, we did forecast problems with Clinton generating this same type of excitement following the bruising Democratic primary with Sen. Bernie Sanders. If voters turned out with the same intensity in which they’re marching in the streets, maybe she would have won. That’s not to say that the protestors don’t have valid concerns. Like them, we can’t help but feel certain elements of Trump’s election herald a return to a more retrograde time — particularly when it comes to progress made on social issues. And the reports of an increase racially-tinged incidents since last week, widely shared on social media, certainly hasn’t helped us warm to Trump.

But they’re simply stoking the fires of division with these meaningless protests. While his start is shakey — Trump labeled the protesters as “professional protesters, incited by the media” just hours after winning the election, which certainly doesn’t seem very presidential — we’re optimistic about his prospects. He’s a builder at heart, and has shown during the primary process that he has low regard for both major parties. We really do think he’s going to do whatever it takes to make deals to get the nation’s problems solved, from jumpstarting the economy to straightening out our still-abysmal health care system. But those condemning the dissenters and dismissing their viewpoints need to tamp down their rhetoric, as well. No, they’re not rioting. They’re not un-American, and most, we assume, are very nice people. But some advice for Trump — Give up the Twitter account.

TheÊ powerÊ of Ê words To the Editor: Journalists, more so than the rest of us, should understand the power of words and take that into consideration whenever they’re reporting the news. That’s why, when I read your article on Plattsburgh’s mayor race (11/12/16), I was surprised by the description of Mayor Calnon’s election night party as, “a flock of tough-looking blue collar workers...”. I don’t live in Plattsburgh, and I don’t really care who won or who lost, but I do have a problem when factual reporting stoops to subtle (or not so subtle) biases like this. You should be better than that. The same goes for your editorial “What a wild ride” in that same issue, where you described Trump as “sweeping to victory.” Yes, whether by luck or

strategic planning, he swept the Electoral College vote. But I’d like to remind folks that the popular vote, which was won by Clinton, tells a different story. This cannot be called a sweeping victory for Trump; the reality is that most voters voted against him. This certainly is not a mandate from the people, as Trump and others would like to label it. Trump and his supporters must recognize this, not ignore it, in order to bring the country together and deal effectively with the challenges we face. Again, we come back to the power of words. In this age of social media, the tweet is mightier than the sword. All of us, the media and the President-elect included, need to be more aware of how we use (or abuse) that power. Hopefully we’ll find the words to unite, not divide. Sandy Sexton, Morrisonville

ENDORSEMENT POLIcy

s we approach the upcoming election season we want to make an important distinction regarding candidate endorsements. With a free distribution in excess of 60,000 homes, our papers are inundated every election cycle with candidate endorsements. The only source of revenue our community publications receive to offset the cost of print, delivery and overhead is paid notices and advertisements. All candidate endorsements must now run either in the form of an advertisement or a paid endorsement notice and include the name of the individual making the en-

dorsement. The paid endorsement notice can be purchased in three sizes — a quick 50 words or less for $15; a 51-175 word endorsement for $50 or a 176-300 word endorsement for $75. A paid advertisement will be based on standard advertising rates taking into consideration size and frequency according to the current rate card at the open advertising rate. For rates call Ashley at 873-6368 ext 105 or email ashley@denpubs.com.

ThurmanÊ sagaÊ continues... To the Editor: In response to a recent letter from Paula Hubert: I was amazed, reading your story concerning your time as deputy town clerk. The town clerk must have thought very highly of you and your abilities, to ask you to be her deputy. Before I could or would comment on the events leading up to your removal from the position of deputy town clerk, I would first talk to every one involved. At which point I would be able to offer a comment! But as a resident of the Town of Thurman, before I started investigating I would say ‘this is none of my concern.’ I would only hope that the town supervisor and the town board would ensure that nothing was done improper. Did you make a complaint at the time? Now since you have found it necessary to speak for me, you could have called me, or talked to me at a board meeting. You did not. The reason I have written these letters started because the Town Supervisor Ms. Wood refused to let me speak. I guess you missed that! I started to see that some could speak, others could not. This should bother everyone, not just me! You say the reason I have written these letters seems to be in revenge. Again you are wrong. A few letters does not represent revenge. I have not written about any town highway position, perhaps in a future letter. Now a few thoughts about my letters: you wouldn’t believe how many people tell me “nice letter” or “great job” or “boy, you really tell it like it is” and “keep up the good work! Now if my letters have upset the folks on the other side of the aisle, I say too bad. Why are you so worried about another one of my letters. They need a thicker skin. Keith L. Parent Sr. Thurman

TheÊ electionÊ isÊ overÊ Ñ Ê timeÊ forÊ theÊ hateÊ toÊ subside To the Editor: Now that we have a new president perhaps the climate of hate will subside. My candidate didn’t win, but America has decided. As an American, I will honor our new president. I do have fears for what will happen to things like Social Security and health care for those who can’t afford it. As a fairly wealthy person, I know my wife and I will have no problem making it through what the Republicans in Congress are planning to do. It is my hope President Trump follows through with his promise to change how Washington works and I am willing to help in any way if he asks. The next four years will be challenging as America will be at the brink of nuclear war and its sons and daughters may have to go into battle once more if there is anyone left after the bombs fall. My prayers are for President Trump to back off some of his talk of “bombing the hell out of them,” whoever “them” turns out to be. Speaker Ryan has said on numerous occasions that he wants to privatize Social Security and do away with Medicare and he now has the votes to do it and a President to sign and make it law. I will be writing to President Trump asking him to ask for God’s guidance and veto any legislation that would do this. He will be our President and we owe him the respect due. God Bless America.

HealingÊ necessaryÊ followingÊ brutalÊ election To the Editor: This presidential election season was brutal. We all feel disenchantment with the state of the country. We all dream for reliable answers to chronic and generational problems that have no easy answers – despite what politicians on both sides promised us. Unfortunately, we were forced to pick sides, which does nothing except accentuate differences. Party politics forced us to become like schoolyard gangs – hurling names at each other, plotting to win. Instead we should have been working together to help a country that, despite its rhetoric, has clearly not met the needs of millions of its citizens. In a land called “opportunity” this is unacceptable. There now needs to be healing, reconciliation. Keeping sides won’t work. Turning to government won’t work. The only thing that can heal is reaching out with compassion to folks who disagree with us and get to work. Maybe the reconciliation could start with our neighbors in our rural hamlets, small cities and towns, and city neighborhoods. Neighbors help neighbors, regardless of their political leanings. If they experience a fire, a flood, a job loss, or the death of a loved one, we do not ask how they feel about immigration, climate change or even abortion. And we will not ask them how they voted in this election. We will simply help. Let us all hold out a healing hand. Katharine M. Preston Essex

ObamaÊ shouldÊ useÊ NationalÊ GuardÊ toÊ quellÊ protests To the Editor: To President Obama, I ask: Why have you not called out the National Guard to put down these riots? These anti-Trump riots are not demonstrators. They are rioters who are destroying public and private property. Yet you sit on your butt with your head in the sand and do nothing. Peaceful demonstrations are, of course, allowed in our country. But these rioters, destroyers of property, assaulters of men and women, and attacks on our police are being ignored by you. I insist you take immediate action to end these riots. Arrest the leaders and those performing robberies, busting into stores, damaging property, assaulting people, etc. Bring law and order back to our cities. If necessary, order the National Guard to help put an end to these riots. Don Sage Schroon Lake

TrumpÊ electionÊ aÊ throwbackÊ toÊ 50s To the Editor: This election was ultimately about returning America to the 1950s, when men were “men” and women and minorities knew their place. On Jan. 20 an appallingly ill-informed and gullible segment of the electorate will have installed a mean-spirited, demagogic miscreant in the presidency. Prediction: if Trump is not impeached due to flagrant executive improprieties during his term in office, in four years a massive bipartisan “Dump Trump” movement will ensue. A dark day dawns over the country as our national nightmare commences... and the ultimate Trump reality show begins. Jim Haig Jay

A millennial’s perspective Generational gap widening Elizabeth Izzo

Sun Community News reporter

hen I was six, my parents pulled my brother and I out of school on a September morning. I jumped on the pull-out couch where my family sat, happy that my day had been cut short. As I jumped higher and higher, images of the Twin Towers burning flashed across the television. My mother watched in horror as newscasters recounted the day’s events. We were safe, but our country would never be the same. Much like many people in my generation, I was raised by two Democrats in post-9/11 America. When things seemed dark — as it often did in the years following the national nightmare — my mother would tell me that though we may disagree with our president, it’s important that we always respect and support him. Ours was a patriotic household, even during the tenure of a president from the opposing party. Since then, I have always upheld my mother’s advice: I have respected each president as the elected leader of our nation. But on Nov. 9, my lifelong respect died a swift death. I am now faced with a president-elect who I cannot respect as a man, much less ideologically support as the face of my country. This isn’t unique in my generation: Politico reported that Donald Trump had a 74 percent unfavorability rating among millennials. This, coupled with the numerous protests around the country, seems to imply that my generation largely agrees with me. Frankly, most of us would’ve chosen Bernie Sanders. But the fact that Trump was elected despite a majority of millennials voting blue is perhaps indicative of an ever-widening generational gap, the likes of which were seen with Brexit earlier this year, where a staggering 75 percent of Great Britain’s youth voted Remain, and 61 percent of Baby Boomers voted Leave. Much of my generation has been engaged in politics for the first time this election cycle. We’ve spent months listening to the hateful rhetoric that Trump has popularized, and now that he has been elected — we’re terrified. We’re inheriting this country — and along with it, the aftermath of mistakes that were made before our time. This was the first election where we could finally speak up for ourselves and choose our destinies. With this in mind, you can understand why we’re upset. As young people, we are prone to disproportionately weighing social issues — including same sex marriage, attitudes towards refugees and gender and religious equality issues, especially towards our Muslim friends — >> See IZZO | pg. 15

Report: Convention biz, events buoying county tourism revenues Big numbers helping soften blow of rough start By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — The agency tasked with promoting the region’s tourism assets is successfully navigating the one-two punch of shaky weather paired with ultra-stiff competition for travel dollars, according to a new report from the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism. While occupancy in the county’s lodging amenities fell 5 percent last winter, the number rebounded beginning in spring, when occupancy shot up 8.9 percent. Those numbers carried over to summer, which saw a 3.8 percent increase in occupancy over last year, and a 6.4 percent uptick in revenues. Through September, fall occupancy numbers are showing a 8.8 percent increase, with October numbers scheduled to be crunched at the end of the week. Year to date, occupancy numbers are up 2.4 percent. While revenues are up 4.1 percent, they’re still falling short of the agency’s 5 percent projected increase — likely a result of last winter’s unseasonably warm temperatures. ROOST CEO James McKenna, who briefed county lawmakers on the numbers Monday, attributes this to a surge in the convention business, which this year is the strongest-ever for Essex County. ROOST has four staffers who are going gangbusters on locking in the competitive market, said McKenna. Additional factors for the uptick include an aggressive leisure travel marketing campaign which McKenna says sets the lead for other regions across the state. Traditional advertising has fallen by the wayside in favor of “expertise-driven” efforts, which rely on positive word of mouth discussions to attract visitors, McKenna said. Events don’t hurt, either — including the Leadville Trail 100 in Wilmington, the Adirondack Harvest Festival held in Westport in September, and the Adirondack Marathon in Schroon Lake. “We’re supporting all those events on an annual basis, and that plays a lot into it,” McKenna said. Planned new events in Wilmington will only add to that, he said. What does all of this mean for the county? Answer: About $7.1 million in sales tax revenues, which ROOST crunched using a formula taking into account room rentals and average travel expenses as reported by visitors. “For each occupancy tax dollar collected, we can now track $4 in sales tax revenue,” McKenna said. That number in fact may be higher, he said, once expenditures from day-trippers are taken into account. The numbers were generated from the Smith Travel Report, the gold-plated standard in the hospitality biz. Sixty-eight percent of the county’s available rooms were surveyed in the report. ROOST is also putting the finishing touches on a survey, conducted jointly with the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, of the fishing tournament industry in southern Essex County. Results from that study are expected to be announced later this year, McKenna reported.

Occupancy numbers are up 2.4 percent in Essex County this year, reported the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism in a new report.

UPCOMING HEARINGS

From page 1 Club and the Adirondack Mountain Club. The green team shirts spread across APA and DEC’s board room last Wednesday, its big white bus from Albany parked outside. Buzz words culled from Be Wild’s letter-writing campaign were recurring in comments, citing a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” that the green groups say is endangered by the four classification alternatives developed by the APA. In repeated commentary, the green message asserted that “current plans ...would threaten some of the purest waters and wildest, rarest and most fragile wildlife habitat in the (Adirondack) Park.” Tyler Socash parked a map of the park on the easel by the microphone. His illustration of park lands and roadways meant to show what he considers an “alarming disappearance of wilderness.” Socash, of Tupper Lake, said only five percent of Adirondack forest lands are more than five miles from a roadway or travel infrastructure. “We don’t need another unsuccessful compromise like Essex Chain (Lakes plan). We need Wilderness.” His urgent tone drew a loud applause. But for Chuck Parker, president of the New York State Conservation Council, Wilderness use excludes access for all but the physically fit. Without Wild Forest pressed closer to the ponds, it would be about a seven mile hike into the ponds. Parker is working with Access the Adirondacks, a coalition of sportsmen and local officials representing the towns surrounding the Boreas tract. They hope to create a recreational link from North Hudson to Minerva, Newcomb, Indian Lake and Long Lake. Their preferred land use plan is encompassed in APA’s Boreas Alternative 1 with a Wild Forest area of 9,913 acres below a 10,621-acre swath of Wilderness protecting the northern half. “Are these parcels with bridges and roads best described as Wild Forest or Wilderness?” Parker asked. Supervisors from North Hudson, Minerva and Wilmington were among several elected officials who shared comments at this first public hearing. “This land has two dams and multiple culverts. What (Gov. Andrew Cuomo) was buying is Wild Forest. It’s the people’s land and we want to use it. People in my community are getting older and we want everybody to enjoy this,” Minerva Supervisor Steve McNally said. Greg Cunningham of ADK Community Works called this classification decision an historic event and compared Boreas to federal land held in the National Park system, which he pointed out is subject at Congressional will to mining, grazing and timber use. The 20,000 acres at Boreas, Cunningham suggested, “are unchanged since the park’s beginning.”

Election

From page 1 “I was not surprised at the result, but I was shocked because I felt all along that Trump was a totally undesirable candidate, and my trust was in the American electorate that sensibility and reason would prevail,” he said. Haig, 68, said both parties did a “lousy job” of outlining approaches that would benefit working class Americans, he said, including those in the North Country, whose residents he said would be negatively impacted by ACA and environmental protection rollbacks. As left-leaning protesters continued to roil the country, Haig expressed skepticism over Trump’s ability to preside over a divided country. Clinton won the popular vote, with a vote margin projected to eventually reach 2 million, or 1.5 percentage points, according to the New York Times. “Given what we’ve seen about his temperament, I think he’s set the stage for ongoing polarization,” Haig said. Don Austin, who described himself as a lifelong Democrat, echoed those sentiments, and said values played an important role in his skepticism toward Trump, a political novice who has never held elected office. “We don’t get to determine a lot about life, our own or that of others,” said Austin, 72, a professor and engineer. “We can work for the good, though, and the good is seen through the filters of what we value. It appears that Trump is very narcissistic, meaning he values mostly himself. I don’t know that he values anything that directly relates to the North Country, per se.” Austin voted for Clinton, and said she was treated unfairly during the campaign. “I wish that people didn’t look at Hillary Clinton the way they do, so negatively,” Austin said. “She’s been pretty much smeared, and people were gullible and accepted it.” Eighty percent of Trump supporters said they were “excited” by the election results, according to Gallup. Austin is too. While he has concerns about his temperament, cutthroat business tactics and possible cabinet picks, Trump’s election also carries a small degree of excitement, he said, because his lack of detailed policy positions mean any-

But as the meeting wound into a third hour, Jason Kemper, who is chairman of the New York State Conservation Fund Advisory Board, shared about a dozen two-by-three foot photos taken at all edges of Boreas. Common information “is misleading about what exists in and around the Boreas parcel,” he said, sharing his view from four days spent on the property. “There are 53 miles of road, 17 of which would be used in (APA) Alternative 1,” he said. In addition, there are over 20 gravel borrow pits in and around the roads, “and 23 culverts underneath the road to make the drainage work.” He flashed a photo taken at the top of Moose Mountain of a road one-quarter mile from White Lily Pond. “It’s a highway going down the side of it,” Kemper said, raising another picture. “This is the road to slide park — pristine isn’t it? Here’s Boreas looking north — again a major road right down the center of it.” Three to four feet of gravel were used to construct the logging roads, Kemper said. He flashed a photo of the top of Moose Mountain. “A 25-foot cut was made through that mountain to construct that road,” Kemper said. The manmade infrastructure sits at the heart of the State Land Master Plan contention. The State Land Master Plan requires Wilderness classification applied to an area where the lands are “untrammeled by man.” But environmentalists think the roads would be absorbed by Wilderness if protected over time. Besides the logging roads, two dams impound waters that thing can happen. “I feel sick and I feel excited,” Austin said. “It’s sick of what Trump seems to be. But excited. At least it’s something different.” ‘I’M ECSTATIC’ In Essex County, where registered Republicans outweigh Democrats by a healthy margin, Trump’s victory also brought jubilation. Don Sage awoke in the middle of the night, hopped online and was overjoyed at the results. “I’m ecstatic,” said Sage. “It’s the most wonderful thing to happen to this country in years.” Sage, 74, said he hoped Trump will clean up Washington, D.C. after eight years of Democratic leadership he said was marred by corruption, backstabbing and cozy attitudes toward Wall Street. Doing so will help return the reins of power to the American people, he said. “Hopefully, with Mr. Trump, we’re going to have a nice clean house,” said Sage, a Schroon town councilman. “I expect he’ll have different people in his cabinet with different ways of doing things.” Sage, a Republican, said issues like gun rights were important to him, as was the return of manufacturing jobs from China and the repeal of the ACA. After years in the political wilderness, is it important for Republicans to work with Democrats to craft legislation? “It’s always nice, but we don’t need them right now,” said Sage, citing pending GOP control of the White House, Senate and House. “It’s probably not necessary right now.” While Trump lost the Empire State by 21 points, the lopsided victory reflected the upstate-downstate divide. Trump bested Clinton by 3.3 percentage points in Essex County, which has trended purple in recent years, and won all but 16 of the state’s 62 counties. Across the North Country, the real estate developer won sweeping margins as high as 39 points, where he ram-jammed Clinton in Lewis County. The average spread was 19.4 points, with higher margins in the Watertown area, and slimmer gaps

form three Boreas Ponds. For Adirondack Mountain Club Executive Director Neil Woodworth, the wetlands and shorelines at Boreas “should be protected fully by Wilderness.” From the Sierra Club’s Adirondack Committee, Roger Gray raised concerns that the Boreas hearing scheduled for New York City has been cancelled. The meeting, set for Dec. 6, has been relocated to Tomkins Cove, according to APA’s website. Gray said the city cancellation “disenfranchises a huge portion of (Adirondack Park) users.” Like the Council, the Sierra Club believes APA should develop an all-Wilderness option for Boreas. Presumptive Chairman-elect of the Essex County Board of Supervisors Randy Preston, who is Wilmington supervisor, said the county supports a 10,000 acre Wilderness buffer attaching the High Peaks to the northern Boreas Tract. “The rest of the property does not fit into Wilderness designation. The (APA) maps do not show the road system that’s in there now.” And that is a problem, Preston said, because the maps “do not allow for a clear vision of what is on the property.” Preston said Essex County officials and residents care dearly about the environment in their towns. “The people should be allowed to use it.” Essex County has 356,761 acres of state forest Wilderness and 167,665 acres of the less restricted Wild Forest state lands. Local leaders say classification determines only possible uses on the property. And they want APA and DEC to use the Unit Management Plan to apply appropriate environmental safeguards. toward Glens Falls and Saratoga. Gun culture runs deep across upstate, where many remain bitterly opposed to the SAFE Act, the controversial state gun control legislation passed after the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012. “I believe he’ll hold up his right hand and obey the Constitution, which I don’t believe Hillary was going to do,” said Richard Johndrow, a retired International Paper worker and avid outdoorsman, who voted for Trump, in part, over gun rights. Johndrow, 84, said he was not concerned about questions over Trump’s volatile personality. “I’m not concerned about him having a tantrum,” he said. “I don’t think he’s going to do that.” Rob McDougal expressed confidence that Trump will get out of the way of commerce, and clear away some of the regulations that have stymied economic growth, he said, particularly for small businesses. “It just crushed a lot of economic opportunity for those not living in the city,” said McDougal, who described himself as a public school teacher in his 50s. McDougal hoped a new tax plan would encourage U.S. companies to repatriate back to U.S. soil, which would put American workers back to work. The Plattsburgh resident also supported Trump because he felt the candidate would protect Constitutional rights, which he said were eroding under President Obama, and would have continued under a Clinton Administration. Appointing conservative judges is important, he said, noting the Constitution is not intended to be a living document. McDougal said the ongoing protests reflect a double-standard. And like others interviewed for this story, McDougal said he was disappointed in the national media, which he said was biased in favor of Clinton, and did not accurately convey the support enjoyed by Trump, nor capture their voices, in their coverage. “We weren’t given a voice anywhere for us,” McDougal said. To the reporter writing this article: “Just be fair,” he said. Claque, the Keene academic, said she truly wants to understand the other side, especially because the country appears more divided than ever. “A lot of people are afraid to talk to each other right now.”

From page 1 the U.S. has labeled as principal threats: Russia, China, North Korea and Iran. The U.S. Fleet Forces Command routinely deploys because of three of those, including Russia’s “bad activity” in the Baltics, Atlantic and Mediterranean and Iran’s meddling in the Persian Gulf (and covert operations across the entire Middle East). Bombers lift off from the Eisenhower daily to drop bombs on ISIS in Iraq and Syria. The number of bombs ranges from “a handful” to 40-50 per day. “We’ve dropped more on ISIS and ISIL fighters than we actually bought for the U.S. Navy last year — that’s the extent of what we’re doing,” Davidson said. From its perch on the Strait of Hormuz, the Eisenhower plays a central role in keeping the waterway clear for commercial oil traffic. That lane is required to be open, Davidson said, but Iran has recently been proven to be meddlesome by shooting rockets near ships, which threatens traffic. Just weeks ago, the USS Mason exchanged fire with Iranian forces while on patrol in the Red Sea, Davidson said. After being shot at by a cruise missile, U.S. forces sent over a Tomahawk to take out radar sites. From the USS Wasp, Marine carriers have been dropping bombs over Libya over the past several months, and employing drones. “The effort there is to help the legitimate Libyan government retain the power after the Libyan War about five years ago,” Davidson said. ISIS is in the crosshairs. “We’re knocking the snot out of them as a result,” Davidson said. The USS Carney has been facilitating special forces operations into the same neighborhood since early-July in an effort to beat back Russian interference in the region, including the ships sailing up and down the Bosphorus Strait, which has been rattling NATO allies. Davidson said it’s important for the American public to understand these efforts, and they are conducted by real people. “I ask that you think about them occasionally,” he said. The annual dinner, now in its 12th year, saw a team of volunteers serve meals to 121 veterans in Willsboro and Essex, including 13 home deliveries.

BlueÊ BombersÊ placeÊ secondÊ atÊ NYSPHSAAÊ XCÊ championships Shumway leads Class D ladies By Jill Lobdell, Keith Lobdell keith@suncommunitynews.com

CHENANGO VALLEY — One year ago, the Lake Placid Blue Bombers were atop the state cross country stage. This year, the Blue Bombers returned to the NYSPHSAA Cross Country Championships to retain their title. However, Maple Grove had other ideas, scoring better in the top three positions to score a 58-61 win over Lake Placid Nov. 12. Maple Grove scored 2, 10, 11, 17 and 18 points for their top five runners, while Lake Placid scored 6, 12, 13, 14 and 16 points. “I think they ran the best they could’ve done,” said coach Mel Frasier. “We couldn’t ask for the a better day. Next year we will still be one of the top teams to beat.” “I went into the race running really well,” said Henry McGrew, the Blue Bombers top finisher in 10th place overall. “The rest of the team followed going really strong. We had a few placement changes in the past few races so I was really looking forward to see how everyone did. I hope my team does really well next year, I expect them to.” “As a team we ran really, really well today,” said Scott Schulz. “Coming into this race we were ranked sixth in states and finishing second. We jumped four teams and that is really impressive. We ran really well I think.” The strong run by the Bombers, along with the sixth place finish by the Section VII individual champion in Seton Catholic’s Caleb Moore, led Section VII to a fourth place finish at the state meet. Class D also had a strong showing in the girls meet, where both the Seton Catholic Lady Knights and the

Saranac Lake’s Brittany Shumway finished 15th in the Class C championship race Nov. 12, the highest placing finisher in the Section VII girl’s contingent. Shumway was the Section VII individual champion in her first year of racing.

section finished in sixth place. “It went out a little faster than I expected,” Moore said. “I had to make up a lot of distance. I placed better than I placed last year, so I’m happy about that in sixth place. I always look forward to track season and that will help me gauge how I want my final cross country season to go.”

Saranac Lake’s Anderson Gray was the top finisher for the Red Storm in the Class C boy’s championship race, cross the line in 51st place as the Red Storm finished in eighth place at the meet.

In Class C, Brittany Shumway scored a 15th place finish to lead the section to a 9th place finish, while Andrew Lepage of Saranac crossed the line in 38th place as both Saranac Lake and the section finished in eighth.

“I am just really pleased on what Brittany was able to accomplish not just today, but for the whole season,” coach Joe Merrihew said. “This is her first time doing cross country with not a lot of training over the summer. Basically we started from zero with her. On how far she has come is a testament to her work ethic and her ability as an athlete. “For the boys, they ran well,” Merrihew added. “We had one boy under the weather and he had to battle through that. I was pleased on their race. Next year we return seven of our top boys. We bring up a really strong eighth grader and freshman next year. Our boys team looks really good. Our girls team, we lose a few really good ones this year. We are going to have to do some really good recruiting and see what we come up with next year.” Photos from these meets are available at mycapture.suncommunitynews.com.
